Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas

A decent, smart, well-acted film. Read full review

Dallas ObserverAndy Klein
Ninety percent of this thriller is absolutely terrific; but the 10 percent that fails is so troubling that it threatens to undermine all that is wonderful in the rest. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'Hehir
An engrossing, gem-hard little popcorn-cruncher. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyTy Burr
Pits the two actors against each other in a ''long night of the soul'' talkathon that director Stephen Hopkins' jerky editing techniques can't quite spark into sustained life. Read full review

Appears to be a somewhat sinister episode of "Nightline." Read full review

L.A. WeeklyElla Taylor
Overproduced, psychologically muddled, and burdened with an enchantingly overheated screenplay. Read full review

Village VoiceDennis Lim
Strangely, there's no thrust and parry to this potentially heavyweight mind game. The effect is more like a tennis match in which every feebly contested point ends with an unforced error. Read full review
